With the 47th Pick, Kevin Murphy

Both of which originally belonged to New Jersey and which they traded to us (along with several other assets, of course) for a guy that we originally drafted at #3. And we used to have a guy who wore the #47 who would have left it hanging in our rafters if he'd continued playing after getting his $47 million contract the way he played before he got it. And where is that same player expected to play next in the NBA? On top of everything else, click here to check this out. Take a look at the last paragraph. How long did Utah go scoreless against the Nets at the end of the first quarter? Coincidence? I think not.

(By the way, would anybody like to guess how old Karl Malone will turn on July 24 of this year? Why am I not surprised?)

Calculated and Karl could come in and demolish any NBA player today for 5 minutes. As long as you enforced 80's-90's rules. Karl was the baddest of the bad in a time when badness was a feature of championship teams.

Edit: Perhaps a little dreamery but Karl in his prime would wipe the floor with the toughs of today. Karl was on another level of badass. There will not be another Karl Malone.
 
I'm ok with our pick, we need shooters and all, no need to discuss.

However I will never ever watch a draft night again! I wasted 5 hours of my sleep and life.

LOL what did you expect? I keep track on my computer while playing games or reading message boards. Simply because I would fall asleep 5 minutes in if I tried to watch it on TV.
 
Dude can stick a long range shot, runs screens, improved every year, is intelligent, has athleticism, size, and has a ton of accolades to his credit. Sounds like a prototypical 2nd round Jazz pick. The dude will find his way and might have some success doing it.

Who watches the entire draft, especially when yuor team doesn't have a pick until the 2nd round?
I was like you. I kept track on the computer and had the TV on in the bedroom while I worked on other things. I'd check about every 15 mins out of curiosity to see where players were picked. I didn't expect the Jazz to make a trade, but I'd check Jazzfanz at the same time to see if anything had happened.
 
i've long since figured out that the way to watch the draft is to have it muted, with 1320 (now 1280) on the radio and at least one laptop open. if something interesting happens, you mute the radio and unmute the TV.

this year my radio was acting funny so i listened to ESPN a little more than i usually do... what a bad year for that. it was the year of the awkward interviews. both the gilchrists were terrible, they literally did a sarcastic "wired" segment where calipari was coaching davis and gilchrist how to hug their moms after their name was called... but the one that took the cake was this interview with jayla robinson.

(paraphrased)
heather cox: how proud are you of your big brother?
jayla: proud.
heather: this is a really exciting night. how fun is it to be here and be a part of this?
jayla: it's exciting.
heather: thomas said he'd be taking you with him wherever he goes. that means you get to move from washington DC to california. what do you think about that?
jayla: it's far.
heather: did you know it's closer to disneyland?
jayla: no.

yeah, don't interview a 9-year-old girl who has never had a camera pointed out her and expect good national TV.
 
Because we had a concert that night, this was the first year I didn't watch any of the draft in about 30 years and from all accounts, this was the year miss.

Why is Corbin so set on playing the old guys while Murphy is rotting on the bench?? Give Murphy minutes and let him develop!


Just practicing. Gotta stay in shape in the off-season.

Since he was drafted in the 2nd round I doubt we'll have to worry about his playing time.
